I've loved he name Hamish for ages, but now I have the chance to use it I'm having second thoughts. DH and I are both half Scottish and have some very Scottish names in our families. But day to day no one will know our son's family history and I'm worried that Hamish might be a bit OTT, or even a bit pretentious, on a little English boy in the south east... What do you think? Is it really a usable name? Would you use it?
(Back up names at this stage are Ralph, Gil, Hugo or good old Jack - but have loved Hamish the longest!).
